I decided to visit dizzy.pl with the Google translator and came across a link to this thread.
What the translator came out was something to do about someone attempting to hack a ROM of the mega drive version of the game and came across this mysterious item going through some image tiles. These links lead to screenshots
This is all I could make out when I found this, I don't think this is real or not or something, because surely someone else online could've come across this a while ago, or mind you, I don't think anyone who knew how to hack game ROMs thought about hacking Fantastic Dizzy.
This is not something that exists in the original Mega Drive version anyway... I have that and I have the PC version... this screenshot has definitely been forged from a hack or whatever. I never seen this before, this is completely new to me. It's a shame the person who supplied these screenshots that you found didn't say what the purpose of the Princes Secret Sign was in the game - might have helped us to figure out why it was put there.
Interesting thought though... I like the idea behind it {yolkfolk}:dizzy:

Sorry, but the object does exist in the Mega Drive version of the game. Not sure if the item description is 100% legit, but the art of the object is 100% legit. It's loaded into VRAM whenever you enter the area with Prince Clumsy, it's just an unused object that's been left in the ROM. RAM hacking would easily make the object appear and be collectible.

Why you.... Ekhm...I'm the one who hacked it!This item is exist in game!As well as secret music...(but i miraclously got it played)Here,you can take a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRV41foaKgY Unfortunelly i don't know how to make it playing again and full lenght... Ekhm...Also there is a few other things: In RAM You can spot strange text:"I'm Prince.And I'm FUNKY!Get ready for Purple rain Bonus!" Hm...Prince Rogers Nelson Was an american musican.Back in 1993 Prince music was on TOP(Friend told me this-i'm too young...)1993 is year when dizzy came on genesis,right?Also Intruding is that thing: http://www.lastfm.pl/music/Prince/The+Love+Symbol+Album This item is actually looking like "Love Symbol"from one of prince albums... Also "Purple Rain"that is mentioned in found text is one of best Prince Song's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZXnttoHwDw So My theory about this: Oliver Twins liked Prince music and putted this item into game.In game you must somehow get this item and when you use it then that message apperas and that strange music will be played.
Versions of game that DOES NOT have this item: -Fantastic adventures of dizzy Blue(NES) -Fantastic Adventures of dizzy RED(NES) -Fantastic Dizzy(Game Gear) Versions That HAVE this item: -Every other.
I stopped hacking this version of game. But i still have some notes(for example-Items positionMusic ID list etc.)So if anyone want to make a hack of this version(Like Dizzy Green by Berion)Let me know...Oh and if anyone want save file with that Prince symbol then let me know..
This kind of thing is almost always found in game roms, its just difficult to actually extract art inside game roms because it's often compressed in a strange format. Also it's not easy to know where to look in the rom for specifically unused art either.
I wonder if there is some cheats to access this during the game... I also wonder that, if this is actually not used in anyway (not even by using cheats) during the game, why didn't they clean up the code?!?!?!
its just quicker to leave stuff than it is to delete everything you don't use. Also if you start deleting stuff you can accidentally break the game and cause bugs and stuff.
Absolutely, this kind of thing happens all the time. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 famously drew that close to the deadline they had to polish and release what was essentially half of the full game, releasing the other half as the Sonic & Knuckles plug-thru cartridge. Music, sprites, scenery tiles and more that were never used are present in pretty much every Sonic game. This link has some great info on all that kind of stuff.
I wonder if there is some cheats to access this during the game...Yes!Right! I created a cheat: Just enter the cheat like it's in the picture {yolkfolk}:thumb: But when you exit Dizzy House you must turn cheat off!It's because this cheat changes Y coordinate of Prince sign.So if dizzy drop that item it'll wlways appear at the same Height! Anyway Prince's secret sign could, indeed, give them some legal problems, which would be bad for business. I'm not that sure...Codies make this item in every naext game after Genesis relase.Of course for example PC version may be just a conversion,but...i never tried to obatain that information :teethy: I wonder how many extra-secrets could be in certain games Pretty much...In genesis version there's 2 more unused items... Third dragon egg and Puzzle minigame. Generally I like unused stuff.Like Evil Dizzy Sprites and Unused music found in NES version.
This absolutely does not work for me, using the built in Game Genie in the Gens emulator. Maybe it's because you're using the Censor crack? Maybe they added it as a joke? Or maybe... You are pulling our collective leg? For example: Real shot of the code not working for me
Fake shot:
?? Sorry to be cynical if you are really trying to show us that this is a legitimate item. Maybe you could send out a copy of your ROM?
*Miscalious "Bad words"* Did I said "Enter cheat after you appear in dizzy's hut"?No I said to disable it after exiting his hut..Coordinates of items(X low,X high,Y and map ID)Is loaded after you enter dizzy's hut.Also I have feeling you're want to prove me a lie! Did you learn Maths?
It's because this cheat changes Y coordinate of Prince sign.So if dizzy drop that item it'll wlways appear at the same Height!X and Y is reference to Math's Graph's.So...After entering this cheat Prince's sign WON't appear in dizzy's pocket.It'll be just slightly higher so dizzy can grab it.You see EVERY item that need to appear (like little cow from dylan or Crossbow from prince)just have coordinat Y higher than A0.This means they are "Burned"in earth... also in first post I mentioned:
Versions of game that DOES NOT have this item: -Fantastic adventures of dizzy Blue(NES) -Fantastic Adventures of dizzy RED(NES) -Fantastic Dizzy(Game Gear) Versions That HAVE this item: -Every other.
This item makes it's apperance not only in genesis version but also in every next...(even in BIG 6!) So...just enter the code at the very start of game(for example when selecting language)and disable it when exiting dizzy's hut(You don't have to disable it,but it's altering Prince sign Y coordinate so be careful)
Just enter the cheat like it’s in the picture {yolkfolk}:thumb: But when you exit Dizzy House you must turn cheat off!

No, you are correct, you didn't say 'enter cheat after appearing in Dizzy's hut'; you just said that in the quote up there ^^^
I entered the cheat like it's in the picture. Now you've added a bit more information on how the cheat works and where the code must be entered I might have better luck... Right I'll try it again, and thanks for your help. I'll post a screenie in a minute...
Sorry, still no luck. I've tried entering the code on the title screen then starting the game, I've tried it then doing a hard-reset on the Sega emulator options, I've tried entering it in Dizzy's hut, then leaving and then going back in, I just can't get it to appear. So tell me, where do I enter the code? On the title screen, before the game map's loaded? Tried it, doesn't work... What am I doing wrong? What do you do to get the object to appear?
Uhhh,hmm,yeah...I said that the item is some how linked to Prince,but actually i didn't said where item is...I feel shame,sorry.Cheat changes Y only so,after activating it just go to prince clumsy in yolkfolk village..and i took look at ram,it's refreshing actively,so you can active cheat anytime,grab item and deactivate it.If it won;t work then I'll make a video.Mayby i'm missing something..
Don't apologise, it's ok {yolkfolk}:dizzy: Just trying to work this out that's all! Well, I've done what you said and I've been to Prince Clumsy but I'm having no luck still! The sign isn't there to collect! Yes, if you find the time to do a video that would be great! Signing off for the night, so hopefully we can get this thing working tomorrow :smile:
Hmm.What version of game you're using?Cheat is for Fantastic Dizzy (UE) (M5) [b1] version usage. Well...anyway,there's Video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cu6X8HjDCvY
but there is also something that made me wondering: "Puzzle minigame" - what Puzzle minigame?!?!?!
this seems nice as well, is there a chance of getting a screenshot of that as well???
i'm sorry for giving you that work.. but when it cames to dizzy secret's i'm really curious!
and speaking of curiosity... when you say I'm not that sure...Codies make this item in every naext game after Genesis relase.Of course for example PC version may be just a conversion,but...i never tried to obatain that information are you referring to dizzy games or other codies games?
Dizzy9: No, we are not using the exact same rom version. I got mine from RomBay sometime ago. The letter in your rom is, when used in generally defining terms, the code to tell you it's a known 'bad' dump of the game, or a dump that has been altered somehow. I've just watched the video and I can see it there for you, I've followed it exactly and it is not there for me. I am using a game marked with [!] instead of , which means the opposite: It's a known good dump for the game. So, I would suggest that Censor who appear to have been the group that cracked your rom added the item themselves. Sorry man, but this is not in the original game :sad:
